"Inuulit ko: posible na ang dating imposible. Humaharap po ako sa inyo ngayon, at sinasabing: hindi ko SONA ito. Kayo ang gumawa nito. SONA ito ng sambayanang Pilipino"
For 1 and a half hours, President Benigno S. Aquino III delivered his 3rd State of the Nation Address. Speaking in front of the joint congress, Pres. Noynoy once again enumerated the gains of his administration and his future plans for the country.
Although I was a bit disappointed again with the inclusion of some blame game portion, this year's SONA was really fruitful and inspiring. It's delightful to know that the road to "daang matuwid" is now cemented and will now paved the way for the smooth travel to our country's progress and development.

Health Reform Center
HLC's Health Reform Center is meant to assist in keeping you up to date on all things health reform. This section contains helpful information and resources for your reference. For information on HLC's involvement in health reform efforts, please see the various HLC Activity sections of our website, under Key Issues.
During 2013, Congress has conducted vigorous oversight of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) by holding hearings on multiple aspects of the law. Under a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, hearings have focused on how the health reform law affects jobs, consumers, the Medicare program and its beneficiaries, Medicaid, and states, among other things. In the Democratically-controlled Senate, hearings have focused on ensuring the Administration will be ready by the October 1 deadline when the biggest piece of the PPACA, the health insurance marketplaces, are implemented and open to consumers. Since 2011, the House of Representatives has voted 40 times to repeal various provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Three of those votes have been to repeal the bill in its entirety, with the latest occurring On May 16, 2013. Each time the legislation has passed but never acted upon by the U.S. Senate.
Health Reform Implementation
- On July 2, the Treasury Department announced it was delaying the employer mandate for one year.
- The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on July 17 to provide statutory authority to delay the employer mandate. The same day, the House also passed legislation to delay the individual mandate for one year.
- On October 1, the Health Insurance Marketplaces in 17 states and the District of Columbia and the Federally Facilitated exchange are scheduled to go live offering insurance coverage that will begin January 1, 2014. Seven states will have a joint state-federal partnership exchange.
Budget and Deficit Reduction
- Desire to achieve a bipartisan fundamental entitlement reform proposal seems to have slowed in Congress, despite continued work by the Committee on Ways and Means as well as outside entities including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Moment of Truth Project. Earlier this year, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate passed their own versions of an FY 2014 budget. They have yet to go to conference to resolve their difference and consequently are operating under their own respective budgets with regard to their allocations for funding the 12 annual appropriations bills. The Senate budget assumes repeal of the sequester and the House budget keeps sequestration in place. Congress will not finish all 13 Appropriations bills by the end of the fiscal year on September 30. They will have to consider a short-term continuing resolution that could include a proposal to defund the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The issue has divided Republicans. The Continuing Resolution is expected to continue the 2 percent sequester that went into effect earlier this year.
- On July 11, the House Ways and Means Committee put forward two modest Medicare reform proposals that includes three policies that were included in President Obama's FY2014 budget: increasing the Part B deductible for new enrollees, increasing income-related premiums under Parts B and D and establishing a new home health copay.
- On July 11, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved FY 2014 Labor, Health and Human Services funding bill which included $13.6 billion more funding over FY 2013 enacted levels. The House bill has yet to be taken up by the Appropriations Committee but is expected to have funding levels reduced by $28 billion according to its 302(b) allocation.

Home > Research > Publications > News & Notes
By Terry G. Wilfong, Ph.D. Candidate,
The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, The Oriental Institute,
The University of Chicago
(This article originally appeared in The Oriental Institute News and Notes, No. 136, Winter 1992, and is made available electronically with the permission of the editor.)
The Bir Umm Fawakhir Project was a twelve day preliminary survey of a Byzantine settlement site in Egypt's Eastern Desert, sponsored by the Oriental Institute, in January 1992. The project was conceived and directed by Carol Meyer, Research Associate of the Oriental Institute, Artist for the Epigraphic Survey, and veteran of many archaeological excavations. The project staff consisted of Lisa Heidorn, a University of Chicago graduate student, Henry Cowherd, a photographer with extensive experience on archaeological sites, Mohammed Omar, a geologist from the Egyptian Geological Survey, and me. We spent an intense two weeks surveying and exploring the unexcavated and little-known settlement site of Bir Umm Fawakhir.
Way out in the middle of nowhere is the easiest way to describe the location of Bir Umm Fawakhir. More precisely, Fawakhir is roughly halfway between Luxor and the Red Sea, just off the long road that connects Quft (ancient Coptos) with Quseir (fig. 1). It's about an hour and a half by taxi from Luxor; one goes from the green and populated cultivated lands near the Nile into the arid desert, and from there into the rocky, `mountainous' regions farther to the east. There are little stone buildings atop the cliffs every few kilometers or so that are Roman signal towers. The final approach to Fawakhir is through the famous Wadi Hammamat, the cliffs of which are covered with graffiti from the prehistoric period to the present day. After a few further twists in the road, one reaches the modern settlement of Fawakhir, which consists of a guard post, a tea house, a mosque under construction, and a few other small buildings. This is the `last stop' for many miles, where all the buses make a rest stop before heading out to the Red Sea. The ancient settlement can only be seen obliquely and briefly from the road.
Although activity in the region near Fawakhir, especially in the Wadi Hammamat, is attested for the prehistoric and pharaonic periods, the earliest traces of habitation at Fawakhir date to the Ptolemaic period (323-30 B.C.). More evidence comes from the Roman period: a signal tower nearby, some graffiti in a gold mine, and a group of texts on ostraca (inscribed potsherds), found at Fawakhir in the early part of this century. All of these date to the first few centuries A.D., a time of great mining activity throughout the Eastern Desert. The settlement at Fawakhir, however, is later than this; from the pottery found on the surface and other evidence we can date the site to the fifth-seventh century A.D. The settlement appears to have been a mining camp that housed the men employed in mining either granite or, more probably, gold. As a settlement, Fawakhir does not seem to have lasted very long, probably only a few generations at most.
As an archaeological site, Fawakhir is simply amazing: huddled in a shallow wadi are hundreds of little stone buildings, some with walls still standing as high as five feet. Seen from the ground, the site is impressive, confusing, and even daunting; seen from the cliffs high above, however, the plan of the settlement is clear and the view is breathtaking (fig. 2). There are over two hundred buildings of dry-stone masonry that preserve such features as doors, niches, benches, and trash pits. The site is more or less covered in broken pottery, to which the name Bir Umm Fawakhir-Well of the Mother of Potsherds-refers. Indeed, it is virtually impossible to walk on the site without stepping on broken pottery of some sort.
Bir Umm Fawakhir is not exactly an unknown, "lost" city, but it has never been properly surveyed, excavated, or published. We spent our limited time recording as much information about the site as we could. Since we did not have permission to excavate, our main priorities were to map as many of the standing buildings and surrounding topography as possible and to record surface finds (mostly pottery). In addition to the very limited time we had in the field, our work had an added element of urgency. The site has numerous looters' holes that attest to illegal digging for antiquities. Not only does this activity destroy the archaeological record of the site, but the holes left by the diggers have also potentially weakened the standing walls and made our work all the more imperative.
The Fawakhir Project was a "commuting" expedition, in that we spent the day working in the desert but commuted back and forth in a taxi from Luxor. Few archaeological expeditions in Egypt have as pleasant accommodations as we did in Chicago House, which sponsored our survey in Egypt, housed and fed us, and gave us access to their computers and library. I must record a great debt of thanks to everyone at Chicago House who made our stay there so productive and enjoyable. Every morning we got up at six o'clock, had a quick breakfast, loaded up the taxi, and headed out. One and a half to two hours later, we arrived at the modern town, hauled our equipment out to the ancient site, and began to work.
The most complicated piece of equipment we had with us was a Leitz Set 3 Total Instrument Station, a laser theodolite used for surveying. Since we wanted to map as much of Fawakhir as we could, we borrowed this extremely useful instrument from the Oriental Institute. To use the total station, we started from a base point, located on a prominent rock in the middle of the buildings. We had to set up on this point every day, making sure that it was centered and leveled precisely over the base point. One person operated the theodolite, while another person held a prism on a pole at the point being mapped (fig. 3). The person with the prism also made a sketch of the building being planned to record measurements and locations. The theodolite bounces a laser beam off the prism, which returns to the instrument and gives information about the point being mapped, including elevation, distance, and x and y coordinates with respect to the base point. We recorded the information in an electronic data collector (and on paper, just to be safe); the data was then downloaded to a computer at Chicago House each evening, and points were plotted on a map. This method enabled Carol and Lisa to draw up an accurate plan of the buildings on the site in a fraction of the time it would have taken by traditional surveying techniques. In twelve days we shot over 1000 points (features of buildings and topography), which enabled us to plan 55 buildings; the map shown in figure 4 represents about a quarter of the main settlement.
In addition, we also wanted a full photographic record of the area we were surveying. This was carried out by Henry, who clambered around on the cliffs in search of the perfect view of the individual buildings and whose excellent photographs are an important part of our recording of Fawakhir. Our geologist, Mohammed, made a detailed survey of the geological makeup of the region. Collection and recording of surface pottery was done primarily by Lisa. Potsherds were collected at various locations around the site and in some of the houses; drawings of these were incorporated into our pottery corpus. Some Byzantine glass fragments were also found, but these, like the pottery, had to be left on the site. I was assigned to record the graffiti in an abandoned gold mine near the site. Two were drawings: an elaborate boat and a lion. One graffito was an inscription in South Arabian, surprising until one considers the relative proximity of Fawakhir to the Arabian Peninsula. The best-preserved texts were four graffiti in Greek. One was carved by a man named Longinus-a good Roman name-as a prayer to "all the gods," which indicates a date before Christianity reached southern Egypt (probably third-fourth century A.D.). Two of the Greek texts were by the same man-Dorkon, whose name may seem unfortunate to us, but was perfectly acceptable in the first few centuries A.D. The mine also contained the marks of mining-sunburst-like traces of hammering where stone was to have been removed-and bits of pottery as well.
After two short weeks, the survey of Fawakhir was completed. We accomplished much more than I had expected, both due to Carol Meyer's careful planning and direction and to everyone's enthusiasm for the project. We now are preparing the results of our survey for preliminary publication. Obviously, much remains to be done on the site, and we hope to go back to Fawakhir in the future. Fawakhir was my first archaeological experience in the field, and I can't think of a better or more enjoyable introduction.
N.B. After this article was written, the Bir Umm Fawakhir Project was given the go-ahead for a short season in January 1993. A preliminary report of the 1992 survey was completed and submitted for publication.

Dutch F-16s Escort Plane Back to Airport
The pilot of Flight NW0042 to Bombay radioed Schiphol for permission to return and for a military escort shortly after leaving Amsterdam.
Dutch F-16s escorted a Northwest Airlines flight bound for India back to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Wednesday after the pilot radioed an unspecified security alarm, and authorities questioned some of the passengers, officials said.
The pilot of Flight NW0042 to Bombay radioed Schiphol for permission to return and for a military escort as it was flying over Germany shortly after leaving Amsterdam, said spokeswoman Pamela Kuypers.
Several passengers on the flight to Bombay were taken off the plane for questioning, and others were questioned at the gate, Kuypers said. Routine security measures were swiftly put into place.
Customs police were investigating, she said.
Customs police spokesman Rick Hirs said it was not yet clear why the plane had returned. He said no one had been arrested and there were no injuries.
The Dutch National Terrorism Coordinator's Office had been informed of the incident but said there was no cause to raise the national threat level, said spokeswoman Judith Sluiter.
"It is the same as it was before - light threat," Sluiter said.
It was not immediately clear how many passengers were on board the plane, but a Northwest DC-10 has a seating capacity of 273, and Kuypers said the plane was full "as far as I know."
Kuypers said the aircraft parked at the gate when it returned to allow all other passengers to disembark.
Like airports around the world, Schiphol raised the level of security two weeks ago after British police uncovered a suspected plot to blow up several U.S.-bound commercial jetliners, but Kuypers said threat levels had returned to normal.
Several alerts have been sounded since the terrorism plot was outlined in London. On Friday, a British plane made an emergency landing in southern Italy after a bomb scare, and the U.S. Air Force scrambled jets to escort a United Airlines flight from London to Washington as it was diverted to Boston.
Wednesday's security alert was the first at Amsterdam's international airport since September, when a British Airways flight returned in similar circumstances. It turned out to be a false alarm.

An 1889 law that required all Wisconsin schools, public and parochial, to teach certain subjects only in the English language. Viewed by German Catholics and Lutherans as an attack not only on their parochial schools but also on their language and culture.
The full text of the law is given in chapter 519 of the 1889 Wisconsin session laws. Section 5, the most controversial section, reads, "Section 5. No school shall be regarded as a school, under this act, unless there shall be taught therein, as part of the elementary education of children, reading, writing, arithmetic and United States history, in the English language."

Lighting Guide: Traditional Style
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012
by Littman Bros Lighting
Here are a few pointers to help you add some Classic/Traditional Lighting to your home:
Traditional Style Lighting consists of a lasting design scheme that is often considered Early American or Victorian style. A very decorative and elegant approach to lighting, Classic or Traditional Style Lighting features striking and luxurious elements with heavy ornamentation and intricate detailing. Look for an exaggerated design, simple finishes (like bronze or gold), gentle curves and an overall classic sophistication with rich embellishments.
This 12 Light Chandelier by Dolan Designs is a good example of Classic/Traditional Style Lighting.

The countdown to the Sochi Olympics slipped beneath the one-year mark last week with a huge question looming: Will NHL players participate in Russia's first-ever Winter Games?
The answer should be clearer after executives of the NHL, NHL Players' Assn. and International Ice Hockey Federation meet in New York on Thursday and Friday to discuss what would be the fifth Olympic tournament involving the world's best players. IIHF President Rene Fasel told "Hockey Night in Canada" he'd like an agreement to be in place by May.
"I think there is a majority from owners and players that really want to come," he said.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Staging epic matchups for worldwide audiences seems a strong enough reason to say yes, but it's not a simple decision.
The NHL gets no direct financial benefit from allowing players to represent their homelands and gets little access to players, their images, or video of them during the Games, limiting promotional opportunities. After losing nearly half of this season to a lockout, owners have little incentive to shut down for 16 days for games that won't be aired live during North American prime time.
If the IIHF and the International Olympic Committee give the NHL wider access and share the public-relations bounty, it would be well worth everyone's while for players to compete in Sochi. Many prominent Russians, including Washington's Alexander Ovechkin, have said they'd participate either way, but it's unlikely to come to that.
The NHLPA declined to comment about the upcoming talks, but Executive Director Donald Fehr has been vocal about focusing on international growth opportunities.
Unlike previous Winter Games, NHL players' involvement at Sochi wasn't negotiated through collective bargaining.
"We were both comfortable leaving that as an issue because it was not something that we felt needed to be bargained over," Commissioner Gary Bettman told The Times recently. "It's something that we needed to work out jointly one way or another and that's why we were comfortable tabling it.
"I understand that this is important to the players. I know the players' association understands that there are a variety of issues that would have to be dealt with and that's something that we'll sit down in the not-too-distant future and we'll start addressing it."
The future will arrive this week.
If it quacks like a Duck . . .
There are many reasons the Ducks should be struggling.
They're notoriously slow starters. Right wing Corey Perry, a 50-goal scorer and league most valuable player in 2010-11, has one goal. Their penalty killing ranks 29th. Goaltender Jonas Hiller has a dreaded lower-body injury. They're on a grueling six-game trip.
But look who's 8-2-1 and No. 2 in the West after winning five of six, including a 6-5 shootout victory Saturday at St. Louis. Coach Bruce Boudreau called it "cuckoo." He was right.
"The team doesn't give up and never believes they can't win. And that, to me, is a very important thing," he said by phone Sunday. "You get down 3-1 in St. Louis and most nights against that team, it's, 'Oh, well, it's going to be a tough one.'
"I thought our stick-to-it-iveness was great. . . . That makes you believe that wherever you're playing you have a chance to win."
They've done it with little from top-liner Perry but a bounce-back from Ryan Getzlaf (three goals, nine points), speedy depth, and timely points from defensemen Francois Beauchemin and Sheldon Souray.
"I get back sometimes and I'll pinch myself," Boudreau said. "You talk about secondary scoring and we're getting a lot of that. We're just waiting for the primary scoring to start."
Right wing Teemu Selanne (four goals, 14 points) on Saturday recorded his second four-point performance in 22 days, half the four-point games in NHL history by a player 42 or older. The others were by Gordie Howe in 1971 and Tim Horton in 1972.
Selanne's point total is his best through his first 11 games since he had the same total for Winnipeg in the 1995-96 season — when he was 25.
"You talk about his age, but look at the people he's playing against — 25-year-olds who are powerfully built men," Boudreau said. "I find it quite amazing."
Boudreau also praised Saku Koivu, 38, who has four goals, 13 points and a +11 defensive rating. "He's been our best player day in and day out," Boudreau said. "He's been leading by example. He leads every practice and works his rear end off and in every game he's giving it everything he's got."
The Ducks face what Boudreau considers a measuring-stick game Tuesday, when they play the top-ranked Blackhawks at Chicago.
"I don't know if they're going to think of it as a measuring stick for them," he said. "We know they're good and they're not that long ago removed from winning the Cup. They're like us in that they're a little bit revived because they didn't have a great year last year so they're trying to prove their detractors wrong, and they certainly are.
"It's a great test for us. If we can come out of this road trip with our lives here, I think we'll be pretty comfortable that we're not a bad team."
Slap shots
The New York Islanders found a loophole in the new labor deal when they were allowed to acquire retired goalie Tim Thomas from Boston in order to reach the salary floor. Thomas has no intention of playing and General Manager Garth Snow knows it. Think of it this way: Thomas will play only slightly less than goalie Rick DiPietro, who has been limited by injuries to only 48 games since 2008-09.
The Kings are still working with White House officials to schedule the traditional champions' visit. . . . The Philadelphia Flyers overpaid in re-signing nearly 38-year-old defenseman Kimmo Timonen to a one-year, $6-million extension. But they overpaid goalie Ilya Bryzgalov too, at $51 million over nine years.

Today's history lesson: You shouldn't always believe what you hear. Long before TV, let alone social media like Twitter and Facebook, the medium of radio held sway over the public consciousness — and more to the point, the collective imagination — in a way that now seems hard for many to fathom. One visionary who understood its potential and power was Orson Welles, "prodigy and provocateur," who at the astonishingly precocious age of 23 triggered a Halloween eve panic in 1938 with his innovative and infamous CBS Radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.

A week's worth of notable TV has been crammed into one very busy night. Let's take it from the top.
As modern life keeps accelerating, with everything so fast-paced and high-tech, the Amish quietly adhere to centuries-old traditions, leaving the rest of us wondering whether to admire or pity them.
The Amish, a fascinating and gorgeously photographed two-hour episode of PBS' American Experience that's as much anthropology as history lesson, often feels more like a nature documentary. Because the subjects refuse to talk on camera, believing it violates the Second Commandment, we watch from afar as these devout people go about their daily routine and timeless devotions in insular, unspoiled rural habitats. They do, however, open up in voice-over interviews about their strongly held values and rigidly enforced rules.

It makes sense to go further out on the ledge in the second round than the first, and further still in the third.
Bears general manager Phil Emery said Jeffery was rated in the Bears' top three receivers. He was the seventh receiver selected in the draft, but the Bears thought he was the best in several skill areas and that his size and toughness is important.
Emery pointed out Hardin, like Jeffery, has a lot of athletic gifts.
"This is a big, fast, dynamic, physical athlete," Emery said.
But both players also have the potential to make Emery regret taking them.
Jeffery's stock has gone up and down dramatically. It was at its highest after his sophomore year. He went from 88 catches in 2010 to 46 in 2011, but he still elected to leave school early.
He played at 232 pounds for South Carolina. He got down to 216 at the NFL scouting combine, but looked soft according to scouts. He also didn't work out there, and failed to impress some NFL teams in interviews.
"He killed himself at the combine," one AFC front office man said.
By his pro day, Jeffery had lost another couple pounds. He also made a lot of people forget what happened at the combine when his vertical leap was measured at 361/2 inches.
With hops like that, 33-inch arms and a 6-foot-3 frame, Jeffery can be a matchup nightmare. He can catch the ball away from his body, so he takes advantage of his length and explosion. As long as his belly isn't lined up offsides, Jeffery can force coverage adjustments.
It's difficult for NFL secondaries to match up with one big receiver. It's almost impossible for them to match up with two. The Bears now have two — Jeffery and Brandon Marshall.
"We're going to be hard to handle in terms of size and physicalness and ball skills with the wideouts we have," Emery said.
At the very least, the Bears should have improved their charity basketball team significantly.
Yet, Jeffery is a polarizing player in NFL front offices.
Said one personnel director: "He has size and hands and can separate for a big guy. He's pretty rare that way."
Said a college scouting director: "He is not fast or quick. He is a between the numbers receiver. I see a lot of average skills there."
A number of NFL front office men have compared Jeffery to Mike Williams.

There's more than a hint of Enid Blyton's Famous Five about Alpine Grove Touring Park: tents hidden among secret groves of rhododendron, dappled with shade from the oak trees towering above, plus den building in the woods, scavenger trails, biking and hiking adventures around the local countryside, picnics and sausage-fuelled singalongs by the fire. Bet they sell lashings of ginger beer in the on-site shop...
Campers can choose between sun or shade, seclusion among the rhododendrons or a more open grassy area for their pitch. In addition to all the good old-fashioned fun outlined above, there's a heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis, a children's play area with giant trampoline, plus of course the usual amenities for ablution, laundry, refuse and recycling. Bikes and firepits are available for hire, and well-behaved dogs are welcome.
A level cycle path runs along the disused railway line between Chard and Ilminster, or for a more challenging ride, the 80-mile loop of the South Somerset cycle route goes right past the site. There are also plenty of walks for all abilities, and golf, fishing, and horse riding nearby.

A media furor has erupted over a "newly released" letter to Pope Paul VI that indicates he and the Vatican knew about child sexual abuse by priests almost 50 years ago.
News accounts report the 1963 letter was released by attorneys in California who represented sexual abuse victims in the Los Angeles Diocese. In fact, those same attorneys have previously released numerous damning documents that got little media attention until now.
Anyone who looked at the front page of today's Cincinnati Enquirer saw a prominent advertisement along the bottom featuring an image of a treasure chest and announcing, "Roadshow is in town all week in Cincinnati!"
To the uninitiated, it might appear as if the popular TV show Antiques Roadshow is taping an episode in the Queen City. The program uses a similar image and logo, after all. And that's exactly why WGBH-TV in Boston filed a federal lawsuit Feb. 23 in Illinois against the company that placed the ad, Treasure Hunters Roadshow.
Treasure Hunters used the ad to publicize its event this week at the Duke Energy Convention Center. Unlike Antiques Roadshow, Treasure Hunters doesn't appraise items and tries to buy some antiques that people bring in for the lowest price possible.
WGBH, which produces the show seen on PBS outlets across the nation, including WCET-TV (Channel 48), alleges the company is guilty of trademark infringement through its name and marketing tactics. It has sued the Illinois-based firm and its owner, Jeffrey Parsons, seeking an injunction to prevent use of the name and image.
As first noted by Bill Sloat on his Daily Bellwether blog, the flap over "fair use" issues has received extensive media coverage in Illinois.
Ironically, The Enquirer ran the ad just days after its editor, Tom Callinan, wrote a column criticizing unnamed blogs, Web sites and radio stations of unfairly and illegally using the newspaper's content.
"(O)thers are profiting from our work," Callinan wrote. "We're no longer willing to idly watch our good efforts stolen."
As a result, The Enquirer is using a software program called Attributor to track users of its contents, gauge if the use is improper and issue warnings to alleged violators.
"In an attempt to track down such content parasites, The Enquirer and Cincinnati.Com now employ technology that scours the media landscape for illegal use of our content," Callinan wrote. "In recent weeks, we have sent warnings to several blogs, Web sites and radio stations.
"We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore."
Callinan didn't, however, attribute that last line to Network, the Oscar-winning 1976 film about a banal media outlet run amok in pursuit of profits and ratings. The line is uttered by unhinged TV talk show host Howard Beale, famously played by Peter Finch.
Several local bloggers were upset by Callinan's column, calling it heavy-handed and reminding them of Big Brother with its weird "we're watching you" vibe. They're wondering who – exactly – he's alleging has made improper use of the newspaper's content. Several blogs often post items commenting on news reported by The Enquirer or criticizing its coverage, but they generally attribute the newspaper and help drive Internet traffic to its site.
Sloat e-mailed Callinan asking for more details, but the editor remained vague.
"(T)he recent ones have been small blogs and websites who may simply not know better. I don't want to out them. We handle it with automated warnings (via a program called Attributor) and it usually goes away without escalation," Callinan responded. "My threshold for getting into a public outing of the issue would be pretty high — repeated incidents, warnings and letters from our lawyers. Just hasn't risen to that level."
Of course, if the problem hasn't risen to that level, why write such a high-profile and accusatory column about it?
So far, The Enquirer hasn't reported on the lawsuit against its advertiser. Maybe the dispute "just hasn't risen to that level" either.
Between tweeting happily about U.S. Rep. John Murtha's death and gloating over Cincinnati losing out on federal funding for its proposed streetcar project, an anti-tax group has also posted on its blog about something more substantive: A legal victory against an Ohio law it said was unconstitutional.
Continuing a trend that just won't go away, Father Robert F. Poandl of Cincinnati pleaded not guilty this morning to charges of sexual abuse, which allegedly occurred in 1991. The now 28-year-old man claimed that Poandl molested him during a trip to the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in West Virginia, where he was accompanying Poandl who was to fill in for a local priest there.
Poandl was indicted last month on charges of 1st degree sexual assault, 1st degree sexual abuse and sexual abuse by a custodian. Father Dan Dorsey, president of Glenmary Home Missioners, to which Poandl was an associate, says Poandl was removed from active service as a pastor in Georgia when he learned of the allegations in June of last year.
However Catholic officials are receiving criticism from SNAP (the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) for not publicly addressing the allegations sooner. "We...hope Catholic officials - in both Ohio and West Virginia - will tell the truth about why they kept quiet about these allegations for over six months," said the group's midwest director, Judy Jones, in a statement released on Thursday. "Such secrecy is immoral and reckless, and may have led to other kids being abused too." Poandl has served as a priest since 1968. He has resided as pastor over churches in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mississippi.
As to why the alleged victim was even with Poandl in West Virginia at the time, it is unclear. Details over their visit to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church have yet to be disclosed. However one thing is certain, and that is it will be a much greater surprise if Poandl is found innocent of these charges than it will be if he is found guilty. It's strange to find oneself desensitized to a matter such as this. But unfortunately, Poandl is just another number in the 4,450 priests accused of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, this according to a 2004 survey commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Poandl's trial is scheduled for June 15, 2010. He is free on a bond of $15,000.
The personal travails of Sarah Palin's family life normally wouldn't be newsworthy if it weren't for Palin's sanctimonious public statements and campaigning on issues like teen sex, abortion and so-called "family values." With that in mind, watching the protracted custody battle between Palin's daughter, Bristol, and ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston over their daughter holds the same bizarre fascination as driving by a car accident on the highway.
It's been a long time coming, but today gays and lesbians are finally taking the fight for our rights where it belongs, through the federal justice system.
The trial before the U.S. Supreme Court on same-sex marriages in California begins today and the result of Perry v. Schwarzenegger is expected to affect gay marriage legislation nationwide.
Apparently, some Republicans across Ohio disagree with their GOP colleague, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters.
In a motion filed Wednesday with the Ohio Supreme Court, the County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO) seeks to intervene in the complaint that Hamilton County commissioners filed against Deters. The CCAO, which is a bipartisan group that has numerous Republican members, asks to join the case as a "friend of the court" on the commissioners' side.

Please apply online through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) website at www.lsac.org. This is the required method of application as it allows our admissions committee to assemble your application efficiently and return a decision to you quickly. The regular admission application (for both full-time and part-time) deadline is May 1, 2014. The early decision appilcation deadline is November 15, 2013.
Campbell Law offers a non-binding early decision application option. This application is most appropriate for candidates who have concluded that Campbell Law is their first choice for law school. Candidates who apply through the early decision application process may apply to other law schools, but may not have more than one binding early decision application pending simultaneously. If admitted to Campbell Law, early decision candidates are not required to withdraw their applications at other law schools. Candidates must submit and/or complete the application no later than November 15, 2013. Campbell Law will notify early decision candidates about their status no later than December 15, 2013. Some early decision candidates may be held for review in the regular cycle. Candidates who are held for consideration in the regular cycle will no longer be bound by the terms of the early decision agreement.
Application instructions, requirements and deadlines are the same for Campbell Flex applicants as they are for full-time applicants. There is, however, a specific application that may be selected on LSAC's website if you are applying for Campbell Flex.
The application fee for Fall 2014 has been waived.
All applicants must register with the Law School Admission Council's Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Transcripts and letters of recommendation (2) should be sent directly to CAS. Registration is valid for five (5) years from the date the LSAT/CAS registration form is processed. Applicants must ensure undergraduate transcripts from each college, university or high school dual-enrollment program attended are on file at CAS. Please do not send transcripts to the law school.
Applicants must submit a personal statement with their application. The personal statement should be viewed as your interview on paper. It gives us an opportunity to get to know you on a more personal level. Additionally, it gives the applicant an opportunity to explore fit, and convey to the committee why they feel that Campbell Law is an ideal place to study the law.
Applicants must submit a resume along with the application. Campbell Law allows applicants unlimited space on the resume to share your experiences.
Campbell Law School requires complete candor and honesty from all applicants in their completed law school application form. Admission to Campbell Law is contingent upon the accuracy of information required as part of the application process.
Failure to provide required information, or misrepresentation of such information, can result in withdrawal of an offer of admission prior to matriculation, dismissal or suspension from the law school after matriculation, rescission of the student's degree after graduation, and/or forfeiture of all fees and charges paid and academic credit earned.
Any such failure to disclose or misrepresentation will be reported to the Board of Law examiners for misconduct investigation, and to the Law School Admission Council Misconduct and Irregularities in the Admission Process Subcommittee.

FOR THOSE WHO read this article, but are not knowledgeable about George Soros and his domestic and global gun control (read confiscation) agenda, here is a short primer.
It was through Soros` Open Society Institute (OSI) that he bankrolled world gun-ban strategist Rebecca Peters to oversee the May 2000 Million Mom March (MMM). Soros brought Peters, called our fairy godmother by MMM organizers, to the United States from Australia to work on both domestic and international gun control schemes. Peters had leapt to the world gun-ban stage as the individual who created Australia`s shameful 1996-97 collection and destruction of virtually all registered semi-auto and pump long guns from licensed collectors, shooters and hunters.
Peters bragged that this firearm roundup was very, very moderate and mirrored her plans for a global effort. Here`s how she had earlier described her moderate disarmament program, which naturally followed her licensing and registration schemes: The National Firearms Agreement recognized the inherent inappropriateness of these highly dangerous weapons and took away nearly 700,000 of them to be melted down into soup cans and bus-stop benches. (Emphasis added.)
As a reward for Peter`s work in America, Soros helped to create and fund her International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) to take the civil disarmament crusade worldwide and to concentrate on the United Nations as Soros` instrument for civilian arms destruction.
In the meantime, OSI and Soros poured millions of dollars into punitive lawsuits to bankrupt America`s firearm industry. Those suits were ultimately overturned in the federal appeals courts, yet they still have cost consumers millions of dollars.
If Al Gore had won the 2000 election, it is extremely likely that Soros and Peters would
have succeeded in effecting a global gun-ban treaty trumping American sovereignty. But George W. Bush`s election--and his representative to the United Nations, John Bolton--foiled the Soros-Peters plans, and the treaty was shelved.
Yet, like the Terminator, the treaty will be back if Barack Obama assumes the presidency.
Bolton`s bold defense of the Second Amendment from international attack most likely inspired Soros operatives in successfully blocking his Senate confirmation as President Bush`s U.N. ambassador in 2006. (Ultimately, Bolton served at that U.N. post temporarily for the duration of one Congress only--as a recess appointee.)
Under the heading United Nations Reform on Soros` OSI website was a well-funded campaign titled Stop Bolton!--which involved a raft of domestic organizations and individuals lobbying the U.S. Senate--on Soros` nickel--and raising a huge cloud of major media dust.
Among those successfully creating a progressive grassroots firestorm opposing Ambassador Bolton`s nomination was--surprise!--Podesta`s Center for American Progress.
A U.N. gun-ban treaty is important to Soros. Very, very important.
If Obama wins, you can bet the U.S. will be rolling over for a sovereignty-busting treaty as a down payment on a huge political debt.
How about Rebecca Peters--who claims American citizenship--sitting as an Obama representative to the United Nations?
Very scary--yet very possible.

I don't know if this belongs on the "Things Not T&F" or another board and will leave it to GH to decide.
I was looking at the TCM listings for last Thursday Night and they were showing an evening of silent movie shorts by Max Sennett. I was startled to see one titled "Run, Girl, Run" from 1928 starring a twenty-year old Carole Lombard ( a.k.a. Mrs. Clark Gable). The comedy film is only about 22 minutes long and amusing.
I had never heard about a track & field film before the 1932 movie "Million Dollar Legs" starring W.C. Fields so I stayed up to midnight to watch "Run, Girl, Run. The plot has Carole Lombard as the star of a women's college team but she seems more interested in seeing her boyfriend than competing. Of course, the film has a few double entendres (this was before the "code" was created in the 1930s). And Max Sennett was known for his bathing beauties, so skimpy track outfits were a natural.
There are three scenes.
First they are having a practice including hurdling/ high jumping over a stick. At the end of the practice, the male dean gives the female coach an ultimatum to win the big meet the next day or be fired.
The second scene is about the coach trying to prevent Carole Lombard from sneaking out of the dorm to see her boyfriend at night.
The third scene is at the big track & field meet. They show a race labeled as a half mile (but with a down start) , the discus, and another race (with a couple hurdles) at the end. They also show a women pole vaulting (which caught me by surprise considering the year) either at the practice or the meet, I cannot recall which. Going into the final race, the scoreboard shows the score tied 50-50.
Of course, I know there was no NCAA-sanctioned women's competition in 1928. However, could there have been any women's college competition such as this at all? And what events? Women had the 100m, 800m, 4x100, HJ, and Discus at the 1928 Olympics and added the 80m hurdles and Javelin while dropping the 800m in 1932. And are there any other early track & field movies?

Dear Big Brother Fans and America,
WOW, what a week huh? The past couple of weeks have gone by so fast without much drama or tension. However, the moods and feelings have changed dramatically since I heard Frank and Boogie were coming after me and I nominated them. GO BIG OR GO HOME!! I had to make the best decision to protect the quack pack and myself. Ultimately, this puts a huge target on my head but it also guarantees a big threat leaves the game. Now I just have to put my trust in my alliance and believe they can keep me safe! GO QUACK PACK! GOODBYE SILENT 6!
The final show is less than a month away, so America be prepared for four weeks of intense game talking, up and down emotions, game changing twists, decision making flips, votes that will leave you stunned, and nominations that leave you on the edge of your seat. Its time for the craziest month in Big Brother history, stay tuned!!
Changing subjects, I want to express my love to all Big Brother Fans! Without you I wouldn't have this amazing life changing experience as well as the best summer of my life. Most importantly, a special shout out to all my fans!! I appreciate all of the support you have given me. I will never give up in this game and I will do everything I can to protect my closest friends and allies. I will continue making big moves even if it puts me as the biggest target in the game. Congratulations to the U.S.A. in the Olympics!!! Hooorahh! I pray for our troops everyday that they are safe and come home soon and without harm. I need to give a shout out to God for he has given me the strength and courage to make it this far and will remain by my side until the end.
Lastly, I would like to give out some personal shootouts including some for the houseguest. Mom, Dad, Shannon and all of my other immediate family I love you all so much. Thank you for believing in me and for your support. Keep your fingers crossed. Mom, I am glad you took my advice and are working at the animal shelter and have a passion for it. Dad, you are the hardest working dad and I hope one day I am in a position so you don't have to work so much and you can just focus on your music. Shannon, good luck with school and your internship in Concord, NH. Tell Greg I say hi. I will come visit when I return home. Ron and Olden, you know I miss my two roommates. I hope all is well in good old Bennington. Olden I hope your race car is still in tack and Ron I hope you are behaving yourself without your wingman ;) Dozer I miss you terribly but I am glad I got a picture of you. Dani has been your replacement while I have been gone. She's a good cuddler but not as good as you! ha-ha Lastly, all my boys back home! Chris Stacy you know I miss you and please tell all the other guys I am thinking about them as well and miss them.

The success of protected areas as a tool for conservation is based around the assumption that they are managed to protect the values that they contain. To be effective, management should be tailored to the particular demands of the site, given that each protected area has a variety of biological and social characteristics, pressures and uses. Achieving effective management is not an easy task – it requires adopting appropriate management objectives and governance systems, adequate and appropriate resourcing and the timely implementation of appropriate management strategie and processes. It is unlikely to be achieved fully without an approach to management that is inquiring an reflective – that seeks to understand how effective the current management regime is and how it could be improved. Information on management effectiveness is thus a cornerstone of good management.
This brief note suggests that Laurance and Venter's proposal to replace developing countries' role in the process of monitoring forest carbon stocks for the REDD programme may not be in the long-term interests of promoting reduced emissions from forests in developing countries.Resource Type: Journal Papers
A table is provided of 122 bird species with restricted breeding distributions and for which Nepal may hold significant populations. Habitat threats and population changes are detailed for 33 species for which Nepal may be especially important. The vital importance of Nepal's forests to Nepal's avifauna is emphasised.Resource Type: Journal Papers
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is currently discussing the development of a mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries (RED). An effective RED mechanism could provide an unprecedented opportunity to contribute towards the goals of a range of multilateral environmental agreements and mechanisms, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), by helping to ensure that forests continue to provide vital ecosystem services, conserve biodiversity, and enhance livelihoods. The design and implementation of the mechanism will affect the degree to which these other benefits are obtained.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Protected areas can act as a case study for REDD: lessons can be learnt from their success or otherwise in reducing deforestation and supporting local livelihoods. Further research into the most effective management and governance frameworks for acheiving goals on carbon emissions, biodiversity and communities, and the extent to which protected areas reduce (or merely displace) deforestation within national boundaries would be useful in informing REDD implementation.Resource Type: Journal Papers
We explore the implications of REDD design and implementation options on biodiversity conservation and ways to link REDD with biodiversity conservation. From both a mitigation and biodiversity perspective, the most important immediate steps are to ensure that REDD is included in the new global climate agreement and maximizes the area of tropical forest conserved. It may also be possible to include guidelines or incentives within a REDD framework or in national implementation to channel funding to areas of high biodiversity. However, if the immediate steps above are not taken first, REDD will reach neither its mitigation nor its biodiversity conservation potential.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Assessments of forest biodiversity - the diversity within forest species, between species and of forest ecosystems - are essential if forest resources are to be effectively conserved and sustainably managed (Hunter, 1999). Assessments are needed to provide information necessary to support biodiversity-related decision-making in forest policy and management. However, assessment of forest biodiversity presents a number of challenges. First, because of the complexity of biodiversity, information about it needs to be assembled and expressed based on simplified variables, typically in the form of indicators (Noss, 1990, 1999). Second, since decisions relating to forests are made at a variety of scales, biodiversity data and indicators need to be aggregated across different scales for monitoring and reporting purposes (Noss, 1990; Turner, 1995).Resource Type: Journal Papers
Recent climate talks in Bali have made progress toward action on deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, within the anticipated post-Kyoto emissions reduction agreements. As a result of such action, many forests will be better protected, but some land-use change will be displaced to other locations. The demonstration phase launched at Bali offers an opportunity to examine potential outcomes for biodiversity and ecosystem services. Research will be needed into selection of priority areas for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation to deliver multiple benefits, on-the-ground methods to best ensure these benefits, and minimization of displaced land-use change into nontarget countries and ecosystems, including through revised conservation investments.Resource Type: Journal Papers
At the 9th meeting of the SBSTTA of the CBD a recommendation was made to begin testing of five biodiversity indicators in order to measure progress towards the 2010 target. This paper considers one of these indicators for Pan-Europe. The basic principle of the index is to calculate the average trend in abundance of a set of ecosystem-representative species. The index is considered to be generic, i.e. applicable to all ecosystem types including forests. It can produce both headline messages for high-level policy and communication, and detailed information for in-depth analysis. This paper describes the conceptual framework of the index and explores the data availability for the index in Pan-Europe.Resource Type: Journal Papers
